So the poll is just about to close and I wanted to make one post on the topic.

The way the votes are going to shake out it would seem that the majority of those that care would like the ability to post anonymously to remain. But - I look at those that don't care as people willing to go along with whatever is decided by the board owner.

So chances are the few that post anonymously are going to have to register in some fashion or not be able to post - because from an administration standpoint - we just don't have the time - nor the inclination to babysit what sometimes are referred to as 'trolls.' Take it from me - I have helped moderate a WIDE range of sites and I don't care to add another to the list.

In the next day or so I will most likely turn off the choice to post anonymously - however those that really want to participate on this site shouldn't have too much trouble finding a somewhat anonymous way to post.

And please remember - this is not a "PC" site - chances are some people will be offended - but that is how I wanted this blog to be when I conceived it. The intended audience for this blog is mature adults that realize they can disagree about HGs in the house and still respect others opinions - even when they are completely wrong - people who LOVE Big Brother but also realize it is just a game. It is those that come here and get offended - or try to resort to Jr High tactics to insult others - that are the reason we need to tighten things up a bit.

Debate away - but please respect the decision and I hope everyone that has been participating continues to do so - even CRAZY ALL CAPS ANONYMOUS guy.

Well I was anon only because I am too lazy to log in.

That said, please post more during the week... There is a flurry of posts all weekend and then, during the week when I need the distraction, the posts slow to a mere trickle. Yes, the house is boring and yes the action happens during the weekend, but I look to this site to make my boring life un-boring!

HEY! ZLet's get some things straight anon. First of all, I am NOT a man. I am female. Secondly, the shit you are accusing me of is getting tired. All you are trying to do is run me off the site but I won't leave. I post as B O S so shut the fuck up...YOU ASSHOLE!

Kyra, I'll try to post more during the week. Unfortunately, their work is basically done on Monday, and the last few weeks there hasn't been any real chance of a change in plans. Like today, it's the same as yesterday - Michelle is wandering around creating tension by trying to save April.

i have posted anonymously in the past. it was only out of laziness..not wanting to take the time to register. as it turns out it didn't take long. i never meant to offend or upset the balance of the site and it's visitors.i'm not really sure what the big deal is about being anonymous or not. if someone uses a name to register what makes anyone think it is their real name? you can be anonymous using a fake name as well (angie, jessie, brian and steven can all log in using fake names). it doesn't make much sense to force the issue. i will conform though and i appreciate the site and the opportunity to vent. so thank you!

While I think it is a little funny that this lady is being accused of being me, I also know how frustrating that can be if you give a shit. My line has always been that there is really only one person on the internet and that bastard is responsible for all the bad actions that go on. The fuss over the anon posting is getting blown out of proportion. We are all anons here. I am not REALLY Zoot Mantis. He is just one of my hero's so I use his name. Do what ever you want Mike. Zoot will still come in to say that I think April is a pig and her dad has to be pissed about her licentious behavior in the BB house. Go Renny!

I personally won't be posting anymore. I imagine that you all could care less. I just don't want to have to keep up with just one more username and one more password and one more way for junk mail and other crap to make it's way into my inbox. Oh Well. It was fun while it lasted. I liked the flexibility.

It's not as much of a hassle, though. Whichever email you choose to use is your username (nothing new to remember). Up to you, of course. I personally do care when people who contribute to discussions decide to stop, but hopefully not too many decide that it's not worth getting an account.
